Sunday July 19: Hotter Than July @ Meeting House Square, Temple Square, Dublin (Free, from 2pm)

Nialler9 writes:

If the likes of Caribou, Todd Terje, Hozier and Chemical Brothers at Longitude in Marlay Park aren’t your thing or you’re being more fund-conscious, Improved Music Company and DCC’s free event in Meeting House Square on Sunday is worth a go.
It features a lineup of international flavour from West Africa (Manden Express), Indonesia ( NCH Gamelan orchestra), Ireland (Ensemble Eriu), the Balkans (North Strand Kontra Band) and more in collaboration with the Big Bang Festival. Trad, jazz, bluegrass, samba, funk and more.
